The Hard Hat Zone forum gives the MM community a place to express trauma-related memories and intense feelings, including hatred, vengeance, and violent fantasy, with a level of detail and freedom of expression not permitted in other forums. Because of the highly sensitive nature of the content of this forum, access is allowed after completing 1 week and 5 posts after registration.

I'm so confused
about all this stuff ,,,I don't even see a section titled hard hat zone or a category like where the different forums say anything about even say hard hat zone ...I am asking not for me now I am trying to just see whats available and how to get there if I ever need it and to learn how to put posts in the right places ...I have many questions is this the place to post and ask them .... what a post thanks is a buddy list ... what does it mean disable smiles

what does signature mean all these were on wel wag forum it had dot said unsubscribe to post what forum do I put trigger warning not sure how to post correctly can I write trigger warning not sure how to do those symbols or icons sometimes the different alters step in when I am writing I don't have a lot of experience with all my alters inside you people have lot more understanding quite advanced in knowing your alters what is atthread as opposed to

JP: If in doubt when you write something that may be triggering to someone else such as graphic descriptions - when you start the thread there is a selection of little icons that you can post with your title - the red warning triangle is the one that warns of possible triggering content. If you can't find it, just start your thread and write "This content may be triggering so I am scrolling", then space down several lines so that they are blank before beginning your post. This gives the others the opportunity to not view the triggering material if they want to avoid it. Triggering material generally deals with actual abusive acts and some here are sensitive to that. That's why we scroll when in doubt. If necessary, if you've accidentally placed the post in the wrong area, a moderator will move it to the correct place. Don't worry, you will get the hang of it. I know it all seems intimidating now, but don't be afraid to post. We will guide you along as required. It's okay.

JP: You've come to the right place. Many of us here have issues with rapid switching and getting side-tracked in the middle of something simple, like posting. Confusing as it is for you, please remember that you are SAFE here with others who understand from a place of empathy. Please try to relax and enjoy your time on this site, and express whatever you need to - no matter how garbled you feel that the post is. We understand. It's all good my friend, for you are AMONG FRIENDS. You will find as you spend more time here that many here have similar issues to you and others here have unstable personality systems that are evident in their posts. But it's all okay. That's what we are here for - to communicate our own internal states, confusion included, and whichever alter or alters are posting. I know that I've posted and come back a day later without the slightest memory of who made the post. Such is the nature of this coping mechanism. That yours is compounded with ADHD is not surprising, as many if not most people here have other psychological issues aside from the D.I.D. ranging from manic-depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders, just to name a few. It is the nature of the beast, so you are in good company.

We all try to help each other in our own way . . . unfortunately the written word can often be misconstrued since you can't see the writer in person to know their true intent. I assure you that my intentions are always to be kind and considerate to the others on this site. I did not mean to suggest that all the subject matter on this site was of a pleasant nature, I only intended that you feel welcome to post and find satisfaction in doing so. THAT was the intent of the word 'enjoy'. Best thing is to forget this ever happened and simply move on. The nature of the Internet is the ever-present danger of a misunderstanding. I bear no ill will and simply wish to move forward. I apologize. I have just suffered a series of severely traumatic incidents and may have been overly-sensitive at the time of writing. Perhaps that is not the best time to be online. I felt criticized and this is an extremely sensitive area for me. Know it was not your fault, but mine.

as my text rambled on and I wrote in metaphors my text lost its context ... my email became misinterpreted as sometimes can happen in emails.. I am sorry if I have offended you igraine

and fellow mosaic mind members as that was not my intention ..I feel that I should leave the group since I am the one who has been here for only a short time ..|a couple of weeks |and I have vey little experience knowledge and control over my alters. sincerely peace and blessings to all ...just peachy.

hi Igraine, we hope you don't choose to go again. we always enjoy seeing you here and value your contributions.

we didn't get the impression that Just Peachy meant any offence and there is nothing intrinsically wrong in misunderstandings. perhaps something about this is triggering one or several of you? it seems like a big reaction so we wonder if it might be a trigger reaction. take good care of yourselves and hope to see you around here.

hi just peachy, we didn't see anything in your post that seemed hostile or an intentional attack. misunderstandings are a part of life. sometimes we can work through them and sometimes not. accepting that is also part of life. this is how we all grow.

we haven't seen you say or do anything that warrants your leaving MM. take good care of yourselves.
